Re: [XSL] extracting a verse

Cheers,
Wendell

I started thinking about this, and I think I have an approach somewhere in between the JITT and the BUVH. Its pretty simple, actually, so I am wondering if there is a reason that this didn't already come up. I can't really play around with it anymore, but this might be a step...

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/quote">
<xsl:for-each select="verse">
<xsl:call-template name="showverse">
<xsl:with-param name="vcont" select="."></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

   <xsl:template name="showverse">
       <xsl:param name="vcont"/>
       <xsl:call-template name="nextsib">
           <xsl:with-param name="csib" select="following::*"/>
       </xsl:call-template><hr/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template name="nextsib">
       <xsl:param name="csib"/>
       <xsl:value-of select="$csib[1]"/>
       <xsl:if test="name($csib[1])!='endVerse'">
           <xsl:call-template name="nextsib">
               <xsl:with-param name="csib" select="$csib/descendant::*"/>
           </xsl:call-template>
           <xsl:if test="not($csib/descendant::endVerse)">
               <xsl:call-template name="nextsib">
                   <xsl:with-param name="csib" select="$csib/following::*"/>
               </xsl:call-template>
           </xsl:if>
       </xsl:if>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
